Or even non-democratic countries. Brutal dictatorships usually get a larger international response, even from other dictatorships.

Ah yes of course, everyone else is dense. My bad I didn’t realize I was speaking with a higher being.

Trademarks are probably easier to filter out matches than copyrighted works, due to the relatively few number of them and restrictiveness of trademark protections.

Israel is trying its best to make sure the new Syrian government continues war with them even after they’ve expressed no interest in doing so.

You obviously care very strongly about this, but you should actually look up what the EU’s recent actions are before writing a short novel on Lemmy. In 2024 the EU implemented new rules that allow defendants of potential SLAPP suits to request early dismissal, requiring the plaintiff to prove plausibility of their claims prior to court proceedings, financial, legal, and emotional aid to defendants, requiring of the plaintiff to pay for the proceedings, and rules restricting plaintiffs from selecting jurisdictions more sympathetic to their cause, including those outside the EU. Obviously no solution is perfect, but at the same time the EU is taking reasonable measures to prevent the outcomes you are baselessly fear mongering about. Stop assuming the rest of the world’s governments are as evil and useless as in the US before making unfounded accusations, and actually look up the facts before you make yourself look foolish.

SLAPPs are a problem in the EU, but not to the same degree as in the US. Unlike the US, there are bloc-wide rules protecting against them that saw the number of cases decrease this year. You’d have a stronger argument if you based this on the EU instead of just assuming that it’s a carbon copy of the US.

The cables Apple includes now are very flexible braided cables and they are excellent for their purpose. Haven’t had one fail yet, or even show major signs on use. Would like to find any other company making a comparable product, but all the “ultra flexible” cables I’ve found seem to not be as flexible.

Shitty that they would withhold passengers belongings unless it was damaged or would otherwise be necessary for the investigation

And it would be tossed out for lack of standing before any arguments are heard or considered.

If that was actually how the legal system works (which it’s not, you need standing), then this law wouldn’t matter anyways because you could “sue” for any reason just to waste everyone’s time and money.

You should verify this, but I think there is like a consortium of sorts made up of tech companies that pick a standard that they all must follow. So in the future, it’s possible for them to pick a new standard, and then after a transition period everything would be required to switch (though of course you could still continue using old devices, they just can no longer be sold new).

IDF took first and second place

Does anyone actually believe Israel has any intent to give up land once they’ve occupied it?

Why was Web 2.0 a mistake and what does that have to do with centralization?

The marginal extra disk spaces used by flatpak really isn’t a concern for most users, much less valve. If you do everything in flatpak and your apps only use current runtime versions, the additional space used by flatpak is in the megabytes, since libraries like libc are going to be on your host no matter what.

Maybe they are trying to discourage people digging too far into her life and family? Not that it wasn’t already going to happen once the name was released

Especially if his talk is peace and diplomacy. Cooperating with the occupation angers the occupation as it deprives them of a hostile “other” they can use to justify bombing and killing civilians over.

Iirc he had a meeting with some investor in TikTok and after that meeting his tune completely flipped.

Maybe that’s what you believe, but allowing commercial use has been a core tenant of free and open source software

This is one of the funnier things I see frequently on here. People both champion free and open source code and data that can be used for anything… until it is used for anything they even mildly dislike.
